Short on time for sketch viewing? See the first 272 (or so) sketches I've posted in a 34 second music video!

Sketch #284: "Light Blonde"

Usually any of my sketches that start out as light blonde end up considerably darker as a line here and a shading there, conspire to darken the overall hair color. This time, I managed to exert enough restraint in that area to stick with the original hue.

Sketch #283

This sketch went thru a lot of erasing and re-drawing. Still plenty of room for improvement, but I think she's be best I've drawn in a while.

Sketch #282

"My, what big eyes she has," is probably what Little Red Riding Hood would say about this sketch ... and she'd be right. They did turn out a little disproportionately large. Oh well, all the better to see us with :)

Ted

Sketch #281

The pose is quite similar to that in the sketch I posted on August 23, but the head came out better level than tilted and that the eyes and nose are in better proportion to the face.

Sketch #280

I like this sketch better than the one I posted Thursday as is usually the case with the later sketches I draw when I do several at relatively short intervals.

Sketch #279

I thought I was about due to post something other than the "staring straight at the camera" pose, so here she is :)

Sketch #278

I was quite happy with sketch in general, but there were a few flaws that I felt compelled to correct on the computer (such as one iris being larger than the other, jaw line needing a nudge here and there, etc.). She's still not perfect, but I think she's the best I've drawn in a while.

Sketch #277

After scanning this sketch into the computer, I did a few digital manipulations to give the impression of sunlight (and to minimize a few flaws).
